近年科技巨头裁员计划盘点
雅虎(Yahoo) 裁员日期:2010年12月,2011年1月,2012年4月 裁员人数:600人;150人;2000人 裁员前总员工人数:13,600人 目前总员工人数:12,000人 股价:下跌8% 雅虎正在努力摆脱作为门户网站的旧形象,希望勾勒出清晰的未来发展愿景。面临内部混乱的形势,公司被迫削减开支,并进行“瘦身”。 在卡罗尔•巴茨担任CEO期间,公司进行了两次裁员,共裁员约750人。但这并未帮助雅虎增加盈利,或抬高股价。之后不到一年,巴茨便被解雇。 之后的CEO斯科特•汤普森,在走马上任数月之内,再次裁员2,000人——但一个月之后,他便因履历造假丑闻而被迫辞职。汤普森曾表示,他希望裁员能帮助打造一个“更加灵巧、赢利能力更强、更善于创新的全新雅虎。” 现在判断雅虎此次裁员是不是一次成功的行动还为时尚早。但目前看来,雅虎的形势不容乐观。 |
Yahoo Dates: December 2010, January 2011, April 2012 Layoffs: 600; 150; 2,000 Layoffs: 13,600 Headcount now: 12,000 Stock change: Down 8% Yahoo is struggling to shed its old image as an Internet portal and articulate a clear vision for its future. Amid that turmoil, the company has been forced to cut costs and narrow its scope. Under former CEO Carol Bartz, the company cut about 750 employees in two rounds of layoffs. That didn't help much in the way of Yahoo boosting its earnings or stock price. Bartz was out less than a year later. The next CEO at bat, Scott Thompson, slashed another 2,000 jobs just a few months after he arrived -- and a month before he resigned amid a resume padding scandal. At the time, Thompson said he hoped the job cuts would help foster a "bold, new Yahoo -- smaller, nimbler, more profitable and better equipped to innovate." It's too early to say whether the latest round of layoffs are a success, but things at Yahoo are looking pretty grim right now. |
